Psalms 8

1 To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yegithithi. Ihubo likaDavida. Oh Thixo, Thixo wethu, ibizo lakho libabazeka kangaka emhlabeni wonke! Uyibekile inkazimulo yakho ngaphezulu emazulwini.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

Ukumisile ukudunyiswa yizindebe zabantwana lensane ngenxa yezitha zakho, ukuze uthulise isitha lomphindiseli.

3 When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

Nxa nginakana ngamazulu akho, umsebenzi weminwe yakho, inyanga lezinkanyezi ozibeke endaweni yazo,

4 What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

uyini umuntu osungaze uzihluphe ngaye na, indodana yomuntu ukuba uyinanze?

5 For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

Wamenza waba mncinyazana kulezingilosi, wamethesa umqhele wodumo lobukhosi.

6 Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

Wamenza umbusi phezu kwemisebenzi yezandla zakho; wabeka zonke izinto ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe:

7 All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

yonke imihlambi yezimvu leyenkomo lezinyamazana zeganga,

8 The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

izinyoni zasemkhathini lenhlanzi zolwandle, konke okuntsheza emanzini olwandle.

9 O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!

Oh Thixo, Thixo wethu, ibizo lakho libabazeka kangaka emhlabeni wonke!
